I am looking for a way to temporarily move to an absolute position on the page, print an hbox or vbox, then go back to where I was originally. Is this possible? Is there a way to do it that would work in both LaTeX and TeX? I am hoping to use this capability in conjunction with psfigtex and a postscript bitmap to print letterheads on documents. I need to be able to get way up near the upper left corner of the page, outside of the normal margins. Is there a way to tell \psfig to print at an absolute position? Barring the above, is there a way to get the current position in TeX and LaTeX? Then maybe I can do a relative move to where I need to go. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for in either the TeX or LaTeX book, and hope someone can point me to the relevant pages. Thanks. Glenn Little little%cs@ucsd.edu

When a headline or footline token list is expanded, you know where you are on the page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Langdon L-472 langdon@lll-lcc.llnl.gov Physics Department 14363%d@nmfecc.arpa Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94550 (415) 422-5444 UUCP: ..{qantel,ucdavis,pyramid,harvard,topaz}!lll-lcc!langdon
